Where in the world...

English summer pasture12" x 16"

This is my second painting as part of the Illume Gallery's 'Where in the world is plein air' event. For three days over a hundred artists took part from all over the world and made short videos to accompany their paintings.

It is so much fun watching the videos and fascinating to see where everybody has been painting this week. You can see my videos here and then click on 'artists' to choose which other videos you'd like to see.

I was amazed what I heard Lori Putnam say when she was filming for day one, about the passers by who stopped to chat!

Now all the finished paintings are for sale with the Illume Gallery of Fine Art in Salt Lake City in Utah, so I will be wrapping mine up and posting them off there.

The team involved has done an incredible job co-ordinating all the artists and uploading the videos, and now they have a big exhibition to organise!

About Me

My work is a celebration of sea, wind, sky, light and life revealed in rich and vibrant oil paint using my personal
visual language of fresh and direct brushmarks. Painting en plein air is central to my practice, and I travel to seek
new experiences and fresh inspiration to feed back into my studio work. I strive for simplicity and economy and to
make every mark count.
